The only thing less clever than Chriz2z's post is the "Ohio" bit to begin with.  I love the irony in a not-so-clever person being criticized for lack of cleverness by a less clever person. Clever.

I love how most of their fanbase has no problem calling us "scUM", but if one of ours calls their school "Ohio" our fans get pissy...seriously, it's Ohio State. Who gives a shit what people call them? Afterall, their band doesn't spell script "Ohio State" and their chant isn't O-H-I-O-S-T-A-T-E. Telling other people how they should express their hate for the Suckeyes is pretty lame. GO BLUE!

Hmm. From Ohio. Top 100.

22-0 - Ranked 3rd, won 9 of 10
15-8 - NR, won 1 of last 10

Tough choice for the kid. Hope he stays A2 bound but won't get my hopes up. I think we all knew stuff like this was bound to happen with 2015 kids. They haven't seen anything to make them want to be a Wolverine - outside of a poorly played Sugar Bowl win in 2011.

Ohio offering Crawford is a validation. I think we have to be able to compete with Ohio head to head in recruiting. If we're not doing that, we'll never be competing with them on the field.

Your logic is revisionist and silly. 

They are also 5-5 in the last 10 but I guess recruiting didn't matter then? 

The whole of the series is 2/1 ratio for Michigan but, again, recruiting didn't matter in all those wins  either?

I am sure some combination of Chris Rock/Ray Vinopal with a lot of "want to" is your vision of the ideal Michigan player?

As if recruiting doesn't matter. #overlytiredofthatmeme

Courtesy?  If I were a coach I'd want to know how many kids are leaving so I can recruit accordingly.  I'm sure many of the kids who know they are going pro let their coaches know even if the coaches don't announce it publicily.  Just like Michigan is recruiting for more spots than are currently available according to the depth chart.  They know their players and have good relationships with them.

Saturday is Senior Day and the graduating seniors will be honored.

Roby is a 4th year Junior who knew going into the year that this would be his last. He wanted to take part in the senior day traditions with his incoming recruiting class and be honored as a Senior (it is his 4th year and he should graduate in the Spring).

He is just making it official because he will be treated as a senior this weekend.

Aren't they filled in defensive backfield and that's why they're not taking both Glenville kids? Or are they different years? Are they offering because OSU knows they're not getting Glenville kids because they are both going Blue?!? Alright, I'm just wishful thinking.

Well, both of our starting safeties (Corey Brown and CJ Barnett (+Christian Byrant)) are seniors, and Bradley Roby has already told Urban that he's declaring after this season.

So that leaves Doran Grant as the only returning starter in next year's secondary. Armani Reeves and Gareon Conley will both get first crack at replacing Roby next year, but I think the safety spots are wide open. Vonn Bell will probably be a favorite to win one of the safety spots, and Tyvis Powell and Ron Tanner are both currently listed in the 2-deep.

I wouldn't say they are completely filled in the defensive backfield, but they aren't in a dire situation either.

Ask if I wanted to know what you think... And then tell me anyways. I don't give two shits what you think, I read it and passing information on to a related thread. I only read two sites for Michigan athletics and it's here and 247. I have nothing to gain by spreading false rumors. So stop acting like a chick and take it for what it's worth, something I read.
